Georgia gun range owner, wife, and son killed and 40 guns stolen in robbery gone bad!!!!

:rolleyes:

Mike doesn't need to carry "mace", daddy... :cool:
So Mike can fight? Awesome! My gun won't help me in a surprise attack but Mikes awesome hand to hand skills will lol. Get outta here with that lol.
 
Armed dead bodies...
Did they rearm them after killing them.
So much for fighting back huh ?
Then so much for just peacefully being robbed unarmed or not. Guess your dead either way huh. I'll go down swinging. So dead is dead right, may as will might them fight for it.
No, because that would be all of them
Typical RW straw-man dishonesty.
I guess it would be all of them wouldn't it since they all are capable of killing. Hey just being honest like you are.
The weather.
Isn't it getting towards Cricket weather across The Big Water?
 
Interesting.

All the shops by me, I mean every one, has their employees open carrying. I figured that was S.O.P. for gunshops.

Now I must admit I'm part of a very large metro area, that has its share of criminal-element. That may figure into it. But yeah, I've never been in a store where the employees weren't strapped.



Exactly. IMHO the best use of a firearm is not in discharging it, but rather it's use as a deterrent. Far better to avoid trouble, than get in it.

But straight-up: If I was dealing with the general public, while sitting on all that quick-turn-for-cash, high-street-value, inventory . . . you bet I'd be armed!

BTW - I envy you. Working for yourself, in what I suppose is a business that would be your hobby otherwise. If that's so, it's a win-win; even better if it's turning cash!

The best of luck, to you! (y)
Lol thanks! It is awesome at times and horrible at other times. The constant worry over everything. The massive demand on time.

I have had to get through hurricanes, riots, covid, a burglary, inside theft, legal challenges, and about a billion (not really but feels like it) alarm events that I always respond to. Including one that happened while I was on vacation at Sand Key Beach.

The good side is I do enjoy it and the money. Imagine a gun nut with access to 9 distributors loaded with guns. Like a crack head in a pharmacy lol.
 
So if lowering US gun related crimes to UK/Japanese levels, means axing certain parts of the Constitution that the UK and Japan don't have,
You prefer the gun crime
Interesting and entire what I expected, you'd rather see the world burn than give up your guns.
I like some Japanese foods, but not the culture.
Because you accept that people are safer there ?
You seem to accept people are safer in those places. Have at it by all means.
 
Read this - and think about it some more. ;)

loaded-with-lead
"When shooters fire guns with lead-based ammunition, they spread lead vapor and dust, insidious toxins.
Thousands of people, including workers, shooters and their family members, have been contaminated at shooting ranges due to poor ventilation and contact with lead-coated surfaces, a Seattle Times investigation has found.
For the public, shooting firearms is the most common way of getting lead poisoning outside of work, according to national statistics."

"Children who’ve never set foot inside a gun range have been poisoned by lead tracked home by parents and others who worked or shot there. Health officials have documented such “take home” cases from Alaska to New Hampshire."

"Although it’s toxic to everyone, lead poses the greatest risk to unborn babies and children."
“No safe blood-lead level in children has been identified,” according to the CDC. “Even low levels of lead in blood have been shown to affect IQ, ability to pay attention and academic achievement. And effects of lead exposure cannot be corrected.”

And some gun purveyors pretend to care about unborn babies. 😮
What a joke. My how we are desperate.
 
Yeah, because many people (particularly conservatives) don't give a shit about addressing crime, the root cause of crime, the rehabiltation, all they care about is "tough on crime" and lock people up. Once they serve their time, they can't get jobs, can't live in many places, gee, why is recitivism if they can't get back into society. And while in prison they are treated like animals and no rehabilitation, can come out worse than they went in.

Root causes of crime people don't want to do anything about, income inequality, poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and drug addiction to name a few
And that's one of the reasons they get a slap on the hand and a stern talking to and sent on their way or get a month or two for an armed robbery plea bargained down from 20-25 years.

I'd imagine you might become your own best customer! :p
 
Yeah they plea bargain it away to nothing and basically walk, rinse repeat.
So the criminal usually gets multiple chances to reform before getting to book thrown at him? Kinda goes against what some of the liberals on this board say doesn't it lol?
 
I'd imagine you might become your own best customer! :p
When I opened for business I brought 37 guns from my personal collection to the party. I ordered 15k more in the first few months. So basically started on a shoestring budget. Today we have hundreds of guns AND my 37 gun seed turned into alot more than 37 guns lol. It has been amazing.

Just when I think it's over and nothing excites me anymore, bam the Remington tac-13 comes in lol.

When the STI Combat Master finally comes in, I can die in peace.
 
Wow.

And the only thing you can do is yell, "The guns! The guns!" And it isn't even those guns you're after.
LOL, if you had any shame you would be embarrassed by this moronic, incredibly lazy and shitty trolling attempt. That's not what I said, guns wasn't even mentioned once. and the fact this is all you can respond with just shows howyou have absolutely no argument, just like pretty much every right winger. troll along now
 
Did they rearm them after killing them.

No, they were killed in that condition.

Then so much for just peacefully being robbed unarmed or not. Guess your dead either way huh. I'll go down swinging. So dead is dead right, may as will might them fight for it.

*You are

You're less likely to get shot if you comply and just hand over your wallet/watch/car keys.

I guess it would be all of them wouldn't it since they all are capable of killing. Hey just being honest like you are.

Nope, not what I've argued for at all
Like I said, just another (or the same old) dishonest straw-man.

Isn't it getting towards Cricket weather across The Big Water?

The season's already started
Let me know if you need help interpreting the scores; it's not as simple as US sports.

I like some Japanese foods, but not the culture.

What Japanese food do you NOT like
The Japanese also brew better beer than US breweries

What aspects of Japanese culture do you not like ?
I could give you less pleasant aspects of US culture...like drive-by shootings (not part of Japanese culture).

You seem to accept people are safer in those places. Have at it by all means.

Are you saying that they're not ?

So you were in the gun control subforum with no intention of discussing guns or their control. Instead, you launched a highly partisan diatribe at your perceived enemies, and have followed it with another, accompanied by ironic accusations of trolling.

Check roger. 🤣

I'm glad you cleared that up for me.

The root cause of crime is people CHOOSING to commit it.
 
Really? Is not the root cause of drug addiction the choice to try a drug for the first time?

No, that applies to everything from a Big Mac to a PlayStation

The root cause of drug addiction, is the addictive nature of the drugs concerned.

Then everyone who ever took an addictive drug should be addicted.

Like everyone with a gun should be a murderer.

Your analogy doesn't work in the manner you hope, I bet.

Wrong.
This type of thinking provides an excuse for the criminal or drug addict, and then the left perpetuates this "victim" narrative. "Poverty forced X to steal" The poor drug addict "couldn't help himself" it's not his fault, we need to spend X amount for drug treatment programs". NO ONE EVER forced a criminal to steal or victimize another human being, or forced someone into taking their first hit of a drug.

Nope, you're wrong

Plenty of people use what are considered addictive drugs either medically or recreationally without becoming addicted. I was once prescribed a very strong migraine medication containing codeine and phenobarbital and didnt become addicted. My wife has had plenty of narcotic medications prescribed to her and once the regimen was over she wasnt sketching for the doctor to prescribe her more. People become addicted to lots of things besides drugs. Porn, food, thrills, sex. Addictions are a problem with the PERSON and their psyche, not what they are using.

So there goes your "root cause" doesn't it ?
You said that the "root cause" was people wanting to try them, but then admit that many people do exactly that, do not become addicts and therefore do not become a problem

The problem, and root cause, is that for the majority, this is not the case.

The fact remains that for drugs like heroin and crack, they are highly addictive and that is the root problem with them
If everyone trying them, suffered no addictive effects, there would be no problem.
